- Womens Sports Foundation UK
The Women's Sports Foundation is UK charity which promotes female participation in sport and exercise. It was created in 1984 and gains most of its funding through Sport England.
It has funded a range of activities from community education to elite athlete training programmes and seeks to promote women in coaching and administration positions in sport as well as competition through its Women Get Set Go course.
The organisation has a remit to research the barriers women face in sport. This varies from allocations of playing fields through to leadership positions at board level for national governing bodies. In breaking these barriers the organisation has a range of coaching schemes which offer coaching schemes to get women into basic and highier level coaching. The organsiation also offers examples of best practice through its What Works for Women resource.
